The changes in the driver’s pupils, eye gaze behavior, and heart rate can be used to evaluate the level of driving tension and safety. To analyze the driving load while overtaking on two-lane highways in mountainous areas, an actual vehicle test was conducted. Twenty-one drivers were divided into a skilled group and an unskilled group. The gaze time, gaze transfer characteristics, heart rate changes, and pupil area changes during the three stages of overtaking (intention, execution, and return) were compared and analyzed. The comprehensive evaluation of driving load during the overtaking process used the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method and Rank Sum Ratio (RSR) method. The results show that the two groups of drivers had the highest driving load during the overtaking execution stage and the lowest driving load during the intention stage. The driving load of overtaking on sections with poor-sight distance was significantly higher than that on sections with good-sight distance, and the risk in overtaking during the execution and return stages was highest on sections with poor-sight distance. It is possible to reduce the driving load if the driver is familiar with the road conditions or has a rich driving experience. Compared to the unskilled group, the skilled group had lower driving loads at all stages of overtaking. The research results can provide a theoretical basis for optimizing traffic safety prevention and control technology on mountainous highways and for designing intelligent driving assistance.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Transportation","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/atr/5348875","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142685257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This joint decision-making considers various factors, including hub location, node connectivity, fleet size, and flight frequency. It takes into account several uncertain parameters such as air-cargo demand and transportation cost in a realistic setting. We propose a mixed-integer programming model tailored to the characteristics of such problem, which utilizes interval numbers to address these challenges. This model aims to provide a robust scheme for the joint hub network design and the fleet planning in the uncertain environment. An improved probability-based interval ranking method is proposed to solve the model. This transformation converts the proposed model into an equivalent real-number one, simplifying the solving process. Then a hybrid heuristic algorithm, combining the advantages of Memory-Based Genetic Algorithm (MBGA) and Greedy Heuristic Procedure (GHP), is introduced to enhance the solving speed. Finally, the performance of our proposed model and algorithm is verified using real-world data from the Australian postal dataset. The results show that the proposed model reduces hub construction costs by 1.37% and fleet operational costs by 7.60%, respectively, as opposed to the use of traditional approaches. The computational time of the proposed algorithm is reduced by 28.4% and 36.5%, respectively, when compared to the use of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) algorithm.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Transportation","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/5754231","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142685256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to explore the decision-making processes of the subject driver’s queue-jumping and the follower vehicle driver’s yielding behaviours with Type A and Type B personalities. First, the decision-making utility variables for both players were selected, and a payoff matrix considering utility variable weights was constructed. Next, a decision-making utility evaluation questionnaire was designed, and this questionnaire and the existing Type A behaviour pattern scale were investigated simultaneously. Then, the weight coefficients of the decision-making utility variables were calculated; the replicated dynamic equations of four game combinations were constructed and the local stability principle of a dynamic system was used to determine the evolutionarily stable strategy for each game combination. Finally, the evolutionary process in which subject vehicle drivers select jumping the queue strategy and follower vehicle drivers select giving way strategy was simulated using MATLAB software based on empirical data to verify the validity of the constructed evolutionary game model. The results indicated some differences in the weight coefficients of decision utility variables between Type A and Type B personalities. The constructed game model can effectively reflect the decision-making processes of subject and follower vehicle drivers of different personality types. The dynamic evolution processes of strategy selection were different for the four game combinations.

However, recent findings show that high trait anxiety can positively contribute to the intention to use (ITU) autonomous vehicles (AVs). An explanation for this is that the possibility of handing over one’s driving control to artificial intelligence (AI) is even more relieving for more anxious people. Our study aimed to test whether this explanation can be supported by investigating to what extent this relationship can be applied to buses in which control is handed over per se–in the conventional bus to a driver, and in the autonomous bus to the AI. We also analyzed how the fear of giving up control mediates the relationship between trait anxiety and ITU. In a quasi-experimental study, 253 subjects were surveyed while riding an autonomous or conventional electric bus. The results confirmed a positive association between trait anxiety and ITU in the overall sample but not in the autonomous and conventional subsamples. Contrary to our assumptions, fear of giving up control served as a slightly suppressive but not significant mediator. The results were independent of whether control was handed over to a human driver in the conventional electric bus or to AI in the autonomous bus. Our study thus provides fundamental new insights into the acceptance of AVs and buses in general and opens the door for subsequent research based on these findings.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Transportation","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/5515649","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142642236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the driving behaviors of hazmat truck drivers in response to forward collision warnings (FCWs). Traditional warning triggering methods struggle to capture diverse and immediate driver responses; therefore, our research employs a vision-based framework for driving data extraction and utilizes the K-means++ clustering method for response-based classification. Moreover, we propose an enhanced version of the intelligent driver model (IDM) based on the concept of a virtual vehicle to reproduce hazmat truck drivers’ differential behaviors during risky car-following periods, achieving results that depict improved driving simulations. This model is compared with classic benchmarks, including the IDM, optimal velocity model (OVM), and full velocity difference (FVD) model, demonstrating superior performance in terms of traffic stability and safety in extreme scenarios. Our findings highlight that preaction drivers tend to accelerate before receiving warnings, opting to overtake rather than maintain safe distances. In contrast, calm drivers decelerate in anticipation of the warning, showcasing their awareness of maintaining safety. The analysis reveals that aggressive drivers are predominantly in the 41–45 age group, indicating a higher skill level, while calm drivers are more commonly older, reflecting a trend in cautious driving behaviors.
